BMG-Global has released The Greatest Thing Ever: A Garden Cartoon Movie<\/em>, a faith-based animated film from Butch Hartman (The Fairly OddParents<\/em>, Danny Phantom<\/em>).<\/p>\n

The movie follows Lenny Lion and Lucy Lamb as they journey through the Garden on a quest to find \u201cThe Greatest Thing Ever,\u201d a mysterious treasure that \u201cthe Boss\u201d has challenged them to discover. Through their adventure, they realize that life\u2019s most valuable treasures cannot be held in their paws.<\/p>\n

The film, produced by Garden Productions, is created, executive produced and directed by Hartman. It features the voices of James Arnold Taylor (The King of Kings<\/em>, Star Wars: The Clone Wars<\/em>), Cristina Milizia (The Casagrandes<\/em>), Brian Stivale (Return<\/em>), iHeart radio personality Delilah, Katie Leigh (Muppet Babies<\/em>) and Hillary Phillips (The Big Blue Book<\/em>).<\/p>\n

The movie is available on major digital platforms and DVD.<\/p>\n

\u201cChildren are naturally curious about big questions; this film meets them where they are,\u201d said Steve Bulzoni, executive VP of BMG-Global. \u201cThe Greatest Thing Ever: A Garden Cartoon Movie<\/em> embodies our mission to create faith-based entertainment that children connect with emotionally. Lenny and Lucy’s discovery about what truly matters in life speaks directly to the spiritual growth we hope to nurture in young audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the demand for content that bridges entertainment with spiritual themes increases, The Greatest Thing Ever: A Garden Cartoon Movie<\/em> is another example of how BMG-Global is addressing that audience’s need,\u201d Hartman said. \u201cThis movie encompasses all the components that family audiences enjoy and that I have become known for over the past couple of decades: adventure, spectacle, humor, working toward a goal, suspense\u2014all fortified by foundational messages of family connection and positive values. I\u2019m thrilled with the result, and I think families all around the world will be too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis project invites viewers to \u2018discover where the Gospel grows\u2019 through characters and storytelling that appeal across generations,\u201d Bulzoni added. \u201cWe believe Butch Hartman\u2019s creative vision and BMG\u2019s distribution mission create the perfect partnership to deliver this important message to families this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
